The one listed in chicago is an 83. Did it even have the right axle? I'm betting not if it was in such bad condition. yes there are a lot of messed up ones out there. Not much different than looking at cars 20 plus years old. Took me 2 years to find my Sunrader and there was still a ton wrong with it. Back then I didnt even know what I was checking for. Keep reading the site and learn as much as you can. that is your best insurance against owning a lemon Linda S

Yes fridge plug is outside. Find the fridge vents and open the bottom panel. You should be able to see an electrical outlet that looks just like home and the fridge should be plugged into it.The power panel is where your fuses are for your coach. . Inside on the wall or beneath the sofa but with clear access a metal panel that you can open. Inside are your 12 volt fuses and circuit breakers for your AC and fridge when it's on 110. They are for your inside 110 outlets too. Look around. Like your breaker panel on the outside of your house or if you live up north in the basement. Linda S

If your rig has lasted all that time with your little axle I don't think a full floater is absolutely needed. The axles from the v6 toyota trucks are 8 inch and the differential is little heavier duty and the 2wd models should have 5 lugs like yours. I'm pretty sure your wheels should fit right on. So that would be 89 to 93 pick up. 4x4 and 4runner will have 6 lugs so stick with the pick up only. Tons of them in junk yards everywhere. Linda S This axle should be 3 1/2 inches wider than yours. perfect

Should be a plug there in the back that the fridge is plugged into. Check and see if it has power. Unplug the fridge and plug in a hair dryer or fan or light of some kind. That will tell you if it's getting power or not. If it is I have no clue but if not check your circuit breakers on your power panel. Might have tripped or might be bad and need to be replaced.

My friend Mark in Texas has this combo and did not need to install a hard start capacitor. Gets pretty hot in Texas Linda S

I have a Sunrader but my coach battery goes in a separate compartment. Can you post a picture of what this cover looks like and I will try to find you something. Linda S

Well this would be a permanent carpet replaement. Molded to fit the truck and install the seats over. Only fits back to 84 though. I don't remember what year you ended up keeping. http://www.stockinteriors.com/moldedvinyl.asp?Itemid=13103&MakeId=37&ModelId=484 They sell by the yard too if you kept the older one. Linda S

The only AC that will work with a Honda 2000 is the 9200 BTU Coleman Polar Cub. I've been told PPL RV parts has the best price including shipping. Linda S Got your new wheels on yet? Send me a pic

Ok I know I was a part of it but enough. Back the gr8white's problems. And our support of him. Linda S

I have never had to go through any crap to get my insurance to pay. Not when the tree branch went through my roof or my kitchen was gutted by fire. And thank god for the health insurance cause that fire put my 15 year old in intensive care for 8 days. Do you even know where insurance started? Ships. Investors gambled on expensive trips to the new world, here, to find goods. Many of those ships didn't come back and with the advent of insurance they could guarantee their investment. No liberals but the investors who were in many ways responsible for the expansion of the world economy. Capitalism at it's highest and with that progress and invention. As for liability if you choose not to buy it and live in the boonies fine, but if like I do live in the city and the next house is 20ft away you had better have it cause if your house goes up in flames and it catches on mine your going to pay. And if you drive that car and hit me I want my car fixed dammit. If you have any doubts about what happens when people don't have the proper insurance look at gr8white's issue. His mechanic didn't buy the proper insurance and his life has been turned upside down because of it. Insurance is a good thing.

I'm sure they can't be all bad but my 35 dollar thermostat from Toyota wouldn't open at all. Not even sitting in a pot of boiling water. Thank goodness I took the time to test it out before I tried to go anywhere. They wouldn't take it back either. Bought a 7 dollar one from auto parts store and it still works fine Linda S

They are out there just very rare.There are some v6 models that have a 5 speed manual too. Also quite a number of 84 and 85 that have been upgraded the the good axle. It's just that they go so fast when they are listed. Linda S

I looked country wide and that is the only one I could find not already gone. other listings had been deleted. I use www.adhuntr.com to find motorhomes but the ads don't usually show up for a couple of days and the manual tranny ones with the full float axles are gone in a heartbeat. Email them. Can't hurt to try. Some people are really nice and when they find out how much you like their camper they will bend over backward to help you out. I'll keep looking too. Your in the midwest? You could join my yahoo group too. We kind of specialize in finding people motorhomes and post everything we see. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/minitruckcampers/ Linda S

Same exact ad is also listed in Florida. If it sounds too good to be true it is a scam. Real value of a rig like this would be 12 grand or more. Who do you know who just gives their money away Linda S

Here's one and not a bad price either. Might be a ways to travel but many of us have gone a very long way to pick up the RV we wanted http://rapidcity.craigslist.org/rvs/3871519505.html Linda S

Nope not available anywhere. All supplies have been exhausted and not made anymore. I bought some extras but now I can't find them. Some people have made replacements from gallon milk jugs or plastic storage bowls. Time to get creative Linda S

PPL rv parts has lots of part for that awning but I couldn't find the one your looking for. You could call them on Monday and ask http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv_parts_rv_accessories.htm This guy in Arizona has quite a few parts too http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/rvs/3919573303.html And then there is Dr George in norhtern Cal. He probably has the largest selection of used parts anywhere http://www.rvdoctorgeorge.com/ Linda S

Answer for roof vent question on other thread. It depends on what your talking about. There are roof vents and then there are roof vent covers which are installed above the existing roof vent to be able to leave it open in the rain and while driving. if you could post links to what you bought and the Maxair vent cover you are talking about we could explain further Linda S

No all RV's come with a battery isolater that will protect your truck battery from be drained. Linda S

Probably be a good idea to start the AC before you remove it. I'm sure any buyer would want to know that it works. Linda S

I'd be willing to bet it has the bad axle. That makes the price way too high. it's an 83 or older too http://fayetteville.craigslist.org/rvs/3889610336.html Linda S

I did discover though that the lock up doesn't work unless you engage overdrive. I don't have one on my Toyota but I do on my Nissan so good to know. Linda S

For an appraiser to evaluate your camper it had to be preserved and they needed to look at it immediately after the fire. You can explain this in court and provide your comps. His insurance company prevented you from getting an accurate appraisel because you had every reason to believe your mechanic was properly insured. Nada is the site dealers use to evaluate trade ins so it is historically very low. Your insurance company should have access to the kelly blue book for RV's. That is a far more accurate figure and can be brought to court to prove value. it is not available to the general public. Must be bought at a cost of 145 dollars a year. Linda S Here is a link to the correct procedures to take when your RV burns. Way too late for you to take advantage of. Your mechanics insurance company would have been aware of these procedures and is guilty of denying you the proper treatment of your loss. Print this too. Show the court how they delibrately tried to undermine your case. Shows malice http://www.rvappraisals.com/firevictims/rv.htm

Certainly looks better than that old fashion wall paper look. Nice job Linda S

I thought the locking torque converter in the A340E transmission eliminated much of that slippage waste and 15% sounds high even for my non-locking A43D transmission. Linda S
